This is great news for the Mr Softie Trucks to come out of hibernation
Nhra is like the government..giving hand outs to everyone including people that don’t need them
Why even have the ahfs..Indy is the only race where you would see soft combos get the HP deserved. Oh is a democracy when enough people cry.

Careful, do you trust them? What better way to set up the soft combos than to give them them a one race reprieve and keep notes for future scrutiny.

This will help NHRA keep the car count up. I talked to some that were going to skip Indy because of the possible horsepower hit.

They had AHFS in effect 2 years ago and there was no shortage of cars

2021 Indy had the potential to be a mine shaft race..
It only took .53 under to get in but it still made it to mine shaft..Usually about .85 under to get in at Indy
With AHFS this year, you'd have a bunch of guys trying to dance around at .99 under. Doesn't sound like much fun to me.

Mark, the weather was terrible, I know, it looked intentional but I was #20 at -1.00 and it didn't get much faster all weekend. I was set up to go -1.15 in pretty good weather. Maybe some of the more unique combos stayed home but in my class the only ones faster than me were the same 2 that usually are faster than me. But they also were slower than usual.

Whatever. I don't really give a crap.

Old School SS and Stock racer, we don't have bracket cars, we race for performance. But please don't do anything to put HP on me.

I guess I can go wake up Softie and get him up.
